It wasn't until the adjutant spotted the soldiers acting suspiciously in the distance that he curiously approached and took a closer look.

Oh, so they were playing with dolls.

Wait a minute? That doll looks so familiar!

Isn't it from the general's family?!

The adjutant's expression changed. Before he could think of any way to help the soldiers escape death, Mephius had already walked over.

Upon smelling the familiar pheromones, the cub immediately rolled over, sat up, reached out to its father, and grinned from ear to ear: "Daddy~"

The soldiers all turned around, only to see the general walking towards them, his face cold and his expression terrifying.

They stood frozen in place, expecting the general to seize the cub, throw it away, and scold them. But to everyone's surprise, the general's expression changed completely. He gently picked up the tiny cub, held it to his face, and let it rub against him.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

The mini version of the cub's language system has regressed. The child's speech is often incoherent and incoherent, and when he speaks, it sounds like some kind of original cub slang, which even the butler sometimes can't understand.

But Mephisto always understood.

"This is my jurisdiction. There's a swarm of insects today, so naturally I have to come and inspect it. I remember Canaan was with you today, right? He brought you to the front lines and then left you here while he went to the battlefield alone?"

The cub sensed the coldness in Mephisto's words and knew that its father was angry. It quickly lay down softly and straightened itself, pretending to be dead.

"It wasn't me, it wasn't me, Canaan is... the bad boy~"

Mephisto nodded: "Yes. The little one is right, Canaan is wrong."

The cub stopped pretending to be dead, got up, and gave its father a kiss:

"Daddy, good baby."

Even after Mephisto left with the cub, the soldiers in the room remained frozen in place, as if they had been immobilized.

Only the adjutant ignored the turmoil in these people's hearts and went over to ask:

"What did the little one do just now? Where did he come from? Is he hurt? Please tell me."
